After a few minutes, he rolled to one side, taking her with him. They slid into that euphoric post-coital zone that wasn’t quite waking, wasn’t quite sleeping and always required drowsy half-smiles.

Then his wry voice rumbled through the growing darkness.

“I meant to ask if you were back to a hundred percent after your bout with the flu, but I’m going to hazard a guess that you are.”

She laughed, smacking him on his washboard abs.

Unsmiling, he caught her hand and kissed it.

“Do you know how hard that was earlier? Not touching you when I hadn’t seen you in weeks? Pretending I didn’t know you?”

“You didn’t do much pretending in front of Dr. Katika,” she noted quietly, running the backs of her fingers over his lips.

“Don’t worry. He’s an old friend. Very discreet.”

“I liked him a lot.”

“Good.”

They stared at each other for a long moment of mutual satisfaction and sensual knowledge. Anthony’s avid gaze covered her from head-to-toe, touching on everything from the wild tumble of her hair to her puckered nipples, cooling in the night air, and the cleft between her legs.

“Much as I’d like to lie here forever,” he murmured, trailing his fingers over her belly and making her flesh leap, “they’re expecting us for dinner. They’ve made a big fuss.”

“Well, I did work up an appetite.”

He grinned with unmistakable male smugness.

“But aren’t you concerned about so many people seeing us together here? Where everyone knows who you are?”

“Don’t worry about them, darling. They’re very discreet, I’m told. But before we get dressed, I want to give you your Christmas presents.”

“My Christmas presents?” She gaped at him, stunned, as always, by his generosity. “I thought this trip was my Christmas present.”

“Don’t be silly. Your coming to Tanzania with me was my Christmas present.”

“Wow,” she said, laughing. “Win-win.”

They both laughed as he got out of bed and leaned in for a quick kiss before heading to the bathroom.

“I’ll be right back.”

“Hmm,” she said, temporarily distracted by the sight of his tight ass, sculpted torso and long legs as he left. Then she leapt up and reached for her overnight bag.

By the time he returned wearing a pair of silky boxers, she’d slid back into her kaftan and had her brightly wrapped flat presents for him sitting on the coffee table. He grabbed his own bag before he joined her on the sofa, then froze at the sight of his gifts.

“What’s all this?” he asked with an incredulous delight level that suggested she’d gifted him with the deed to a nearby conflict-free diamond mine.

“They’re for you,” she said, beaming and trying not to bounce up and down with the thrill of surprising him. “I hope you like them. You’re really hard to shop for.”

He stared at her, his big heart shining in his eyes.

“You didn’t have to do this for me. I didn’t expect anything.”

God, this man touched her.

“It’s my pleasure,” she said, cupping his cheek as she leaned in for a kiss. “Open the small one on top first.”

He hastily cleared his throat and, grinning widely, untied the ribbon.
